Coming next week to 788 King St. W. is Ovest Cucina e Vineria, a cantina with traditional Italian food and homemade salami. Seafood looks to be the focus on chef Luca Stracquadanio’s (ex-La Bettola di Terroni) menu, which includes linguine with pistachio pesto and bottarga ($27) or salt-crusted sea bass with dandelion and potatoes ($34). Open weekdays for lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday.

Hanif Harji, Charles Khabouth, Tim Foley and chef Stuart Cameron are opening NAO Steakhouse later this month at 90 Avenue Rd., the former Boba. The name stands for New & Old, with Wagyu beef and Asian flavours starting Nov. 18.

Ezra Braves closed his S. Lefkowitz pop-up hummusia at 913 Dundas St. W. and will move it into his 238 Dupont St. coffeeshop Ezra’s Pound “at nights, after the café is closed,” Braves said. “I was always intending to move Lefkowitz up to our Dupont location.”
